NEW · THE HERITAGE COLLECTION
Why film?
Digital tells the story. Film preserves the feeling.
With Heritage, we work with multiple cameras, some loaded with black-and-white film. Digital captures everything. Film is slower, more intentional — only a few frames, each chosen for the light, the shadow, the moment. Not color converted to black and white, but images born as black and white.
Every roll is developed by hand, every frame scanned at high resolution for you. Fifteen are printed by hand in the darkroom on Ilford paper and housed in a wooden box. The original negatives are archived in our studio.

Behind every image
How your images are made, kept and protected
The quiet part of the work.
Cameras & lenses
I work with Nikon flagship bodies and prime lenses only. Chosen for true skin tones, silent shutters in churches, and reliable focus in candlelight. No second-line gear on your day.
Editing — hand-edited by me
No outsourcing, no AI presets. Every image is edited by me. Colour and light are matched from welcome dinner to last dance, ready to print at any size.
Experience — 1,400 weddings since 1991
Photographing in Italy since 1991 means I’ve seen almost every light, timeline and last-minute change. It lets me stay invisible when you need presence, and step in with calm guidance when you need it — alongside planners and venues you trust.
Delivery — private gallery for 10 years
Private, password-protected gallery. High-resolution, no watermark, printing rights included. One-click download and sharing for family. Hosted for 10 years.
Archiving — redundant backup
Originals are stored on a redundant NAS and two separate clouds. Archived for 10 years, often longer. If you write to me in 18 years, the answer is still yes.
STILLS & MOTION
Your day, in motion too.
Led by Alessandro, our video team works in sync with the photo team: same ethos, same discretion. Cinematic teasers, full-length films and drone coverage.

Travel within Italy is included in all collections.
How many images do you deliver?
I deliver 400 to 800 fully edited, high-resolution images, depending on your collection — no limits, only the best moments.

Everything is delivered within 60 days via private online gallery hosted for 10 years, high-resolution, with no watermark and full printing rights.
Do you offer drone photos?
Yes. Drone photography is included in Classic and Première Collections, and available as an add-on for White Collection.
- Classic Collection & Première Collection: aerial photos with drone are included at no extra cost. I capture breathtaking views of your venue, Lake Como villas, Tuscan hills, Amalfi Coast cliffs, plus creative top-down group shots.
- White Collection: drone can be added on request, depending on venue permissions and flight regulations.
Important details for Italy: All drone flights are operated in compliance with ENAC/EASA regulations, with licensed pilot and insurance. Some venues on Lake Como, in Venice and on the Amalfi Coast have no-fly zones or require special permission from the location — I handle the permits and check feasibility during our planning call. Weather and wind conditions may affect the flight for safety reasons.
Drone shots are perfect for destination weddings in Italy to show the scale of your venue and landscape, and are delivered fully edited together with your wedding gallery within 60 days.
Do you shoot film at weddings?
Yes. Our Heritage Collection combines full digital coverage with black-and-white film photography.
Two photographers each shoot digital and film side by side. Every roll is hand-developed and every frame scanned in high resolution and delivered to you, and 15 photographs are printed in the darkroom on Ilford paper and presented in a box. The film collection is delivered 3 weeks after your digital gallery.
- Heritage Collection from €11,900: 2 days, digital + black-and-white film, all scans and 15 darkroom prints.
- Analog Black & White add-on, €2,500: available with White and Classic Collections. Selected moments on film, all scans and 10 darkroom prints.
Film is not a filter or a conversion from colour: each image is born on film, with its own grain, tones and light.
How do we book our date?
I take on a limited number of weddings each year, so dates are reserved in order of booking.
A signed contract and a 30% deposit secure your date. The remaining balance is due by the wedding day. Your final gallery is delivered within 60 days.
Tell me your date and venue: I reply within 12 hours with availability and a custom proposal. Check your date →
What are you dreaming about?
My job is to bring your vision to life through photography—not with sterile snapshots, but with images that keep your dreams alive over time.
Photos you’ll be proud to display at home, or hold in a beautifully crafted album, so you can feel again what you felt that day.
“Less posing, more presence. I photograph how it felt, not just how it looked.” —Flavio
